MATHEMATICAL MIRACLES IN THE QURAN
The Quran is characterized by a unique phenomenon never
found in any human authored book. Every element of the Quran is
mathematically composed - the suras, the verses, the words, the number of
certain letters, the number of words from the same root, the number and
variety of divine names, the unique spelling of certain words, the absence
or deliberate alteration of certain letters within certain words, and many
other elements of the Quran besides its content. There are two major
facets of the Quran's mathematical system: (1) The mathematical literary
composition, and (2) The mathematical structure involving the numbers of
suras and verses. Because of this comprehensive mathematical coding, the
slightest distortion of the Quran's text or physical arrangement is
immediately exposed.
SIMPLE TO UNDERSTAND IMPOSSIBLE
TO IMITATE
For the first time in history we have a scripture with built-in proof
of divine authorship - a superhuman mathematical composition.
Any reader of this book can easily verify the Quran's mathematical
miracle. The word "God" (Allah) is written in bold capital letters
throughout the text. The cumulative frequency of occurrence of the word
"God" is noted at the bottom of each page in the left hand corner. The
number in the right hand corner is the cumulative total of the numbers for
verses containing the word "God." The last page of the text, Page 372,
shows that the total occurrence of the word "God" is 2698, or 19x142. The
total sum of verse numbers for all verses containing the word "God" is
118123, also a multiple of 19 (118123 = 19x6217).
Nineteen is the common denominator throughout the Quran's mathematical
system.
This phenomenon alone suffices as incontrovertible proof that the Quran
is God's message to the world. No human being(s) could have kept track of
2698 occurrences of the word "God," and the numbers of verses where they
occur. This is especially impossible in view of (1) the age of ignorance
during which the Quran was revealed, and (2) the fact that the suras and
verses were widely separated in time and place of revelation. The
chronological order of revelation was vastly different from the final
format (Appendix 23). However, the Quran's mathematical system is not
limited to the word "God;" it is extremely vast, extremely intricate, and
totally comprehensive.
THE SIMPLE FACTS
Like the Quran itself, the Quran's mathematical coding ranges from the
very simple, to the very complex. The Simple Facts are those observations
that can be ascertained without using any tools. The complex facts require
the assistance of a calculator or a computer. The following facts do not
require any tools to be verified, but please remember they all refer to
the original Arabic text:
1.
The first verse (1:1),known as "Basmalah," consists of 19
letters.
2. The Quran consists of
114 suras, which is ..............19 x 6.
3.
The total number of verses in the Quran is 6346, or ....19 x 334.
[6234 numbered verses & 112 un-numbered verses (Basmalahs) 6234+112 =
6346] Note that 6+3+4+6 =.......19.
4. The
Basmalah occurs 114 times, despite its conspicuous absence from Sura 9 (it
occurs twice in Sura 27) & 114= 19x6.
5. From the missing Basmalah of Sura 9 to the
extra Basmalah of Sura 27, there are precisely ...............19 suras.
6. It follows that the total of the sura
numbers from 9 to 27 (9+10+11+12+...+26+27) is 342, or .............19 x
18.
7. This total (342) also equals the
number of words between the two Basmalahs of Sura 27, and 342 = ........19
x 18.
8. The famous first revelation
(96:1-5) consists of .......19 words.
9.
This 19-worded first revelation consists of 76 letters .19 x 4.
10. Sura 96, first in the chronological sequence,
consists of .....................................................19
verses.
11. This first chronological sura
is placed atop the last ..19 suras.
12.
Sura 96 consists of 304 Arabic letters, and 304 equals .19 x 16.
13. The last revelation (Sura 110) consists of
............19 words.
14. The first verse
of the last revelation (110:1) consists of ................19 letters.
15. 14 different Arabic letters, form 14
different sets of "Quranic Initials" (such as A.L.M. of 2:1), and prefix
29 suras. These numbers add up to 14+14+29 = 57 = ......19 x 3.
16. The total of the 29 sura numbers where the
Quranic Initials occur is 2+3+7+...+50+68 = 822, and 822+14 (14 sets of
initials) equals 836, or ................. 19 x 44.
17. Between the first initialed sura (Sura 2) and
the last initialed sura (Sura 68) there are 38 un-initialed suras 19 x 2.
18. Between the first and last initialed
sura there are ....19 sets of alternating "initialed" and "un-initialed"
suras.
19. The Quran mentions 30 different
numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 19, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60,
70, 80, 99, 100, 200, 300, 1000, 2000, 3000, 5000, 50,000, & 100,000.
The sum of these numbers is 162146, which equals 19x8534.
The following 2 facts may need some help
with a calculator.
20- The word God (ALLAH) occurs
throughout the Quran in its 114 Suras
2698 times and 2698=
19X142.
21-The number of verses where the word
God occurs add up to 118123
also a multiple of 19, = 19X6217
22-The Quran's dominant message is that
there is only "ONE GOD"
The word 'One", in Arabic "Wahid" in reference
to God occurs 19 times
throughout the Quran.
23-The word "Wahid" itself, (one) has a
numerical value of 19.
W=6, A=1, H=8, D= 4. These are a well known
values.
24-The word "Quran" occurs in the Quran
58 times, with one of them referring to
"another Quran" in 10:15,
therefore, if excluded, the frequency of "this Quran" in
the Quran is
57, or 19X3
25- The first Pillar of Islam is stated
in 3:18 as "La Elaaha Ella Hoo".(There is no
other God besides Him).
This most important expression occurs in 19 suras.
This is a condensed summary of the Simple Facts.

[74:30]
What you just witnessed is a sampling of the facts comprising the
mathematical miracle of the holy scripture of Islam, the Quran.
Yet these facts are just the tip of the iceberg. Though such Quranic
mathematical marvels have been discovered only within the last few years (thanks
to modern computing power), the scripture has been around for over fourteen
centuries with every verse still intact and unchanged to this day. This miracle
is totally comprehensive and goes far beyond the simple facts outlined above.
You might imagine the extreme improbability that such numerical occurrences
would occur by chance, especially since the number 19 is relatively large and
also prime. As intricate as this phenomenon gets, it is also unfathomable that a
human being would ever be able to crank out something like it. Actually, the
overwhelming frequency of numerical based signs in critical areas of the Quran
serves as a very convincing argument that the whole phenomenon is totally out of
the realm of both coincidence and non-divine intervention. You may not agree,
but please don't form an opinion yet because you have yet to see the bulk of the
miracle...
Now that you've seen the primer, check out the full detailed explanation of
this alleged mathematical phenomenon. Anyone's personal opinion on the
validity of this miracle as a proof of the Quran's divine authenticity cannot
itself be considered valid unless the person is fully aware of the whole story.
So please do check it out and judge for yourself whether this can be the result
of anything other than God's intervention. Also, note that everything you read
about applies specifically to the original Arabic text, since that is the
language of the Quran's revelation.
The Quran makes the assertion that the previous scriptures are valid.
Specifically, it speaks of the Torah, Gospel, and Psalms as being God's words,
and that we are to believe in them as such. The Quran too is a divine scripture
that confirms the other books and supersedes them, since it came later. Also,
the Quran does not suffer from contradictions or errors in the slightest sense,
and will be safeguarded by God and His servants for all generations to
come:
Absolutely, we have revealed the
reminder, and absolutely, we will preserve it. [15:9]
Why do they not study the Quran carefully? If it were from other
than God, they would have found in it numerous contradictions. [4:82]
Now to digress a bit. As is generally agreed upon by the
Abrahamic religions, all true prophets are sent to mankind with convincing
proofs from God in the form of one or more miracles. In Islam, all the prophets
are accepted, respected, and believed, since they all preached the same message.
However, they were human, implying that they were themselves created, and thus
they are not elevated to anywhere near the status of God, and they are not
worshiped in any way. We make no distinction between any of them because as far
as we're concerned, they were all good people chosen by God to spread His common
message to the people during their respective eras: that the purpose of life is
to worship and obey God alone. Here are some Quranic verses
regarding the miracles of some of God's prophets:
Prophet Moses had his miracles from God, among them this
one:
Recall that Moses sought water for his
people. We said, "Strike the rock with your staff." Whereupon, twelve springs
gushed out therefrom... [2:60]
Prophet Jesus also came with many profound miracles from the
Lord, among them this one:
He will speak to the people from the
crib, as well as an adult; he will be one of the righteous.
[3:46]
Prophet Muhammad, the latest prophet, was given the everlasting
miracle of the Quran:
This is one of the great miracles.
[74:35]
The Quran and
Science: A few fast facts
Nobody has ever been able to successfully disprove any of the statements
made in the Holy Quran, though many have tried. Here are just a few of the many
references to modern science that are mentioned in the Quran. They offer further
proof for the skeptics and a reassurance for the believers that the Quran, like
the previous scriptures, must indeed be from none other than God himself, as
relayed to an inspired human prophet Muhammad(saw) through
the angel Gabriel(as).
Consider the following verses, which are
in reference to someone who committed an evil act.
Indeed, unless he refrains, we will take
him by the forelock (front of the head). A forelock that is disbelieving and
sinful. [96:15 - 96:16]
One might wonder as to why the person's head, rather than the
person, is described as being disbelieving and sinful. Specifically, why is the
front of the head specified? Probable reason: Modern physiology
tells us that the cerebrum in the front part of the brain is responsible for the
planning, motivation, and initiation of behavior (whether good or evil natured).
Considering this, it becomes evident why the front of the head is sinful.
What about clouds that produce
rain?
Meteorologists will tell you that rain clouds form in the
following manner:
- The wind pushes the clouds so that they can begin to
converge.
- The clouds then join and form larger clouds.
- Updrafts cause these larger clouds to grow vertically, such
that they appear stacked up.
- Drops of water start to accumulate in the newly formed upper
parts of the clouds, and when they get heavy enough they fall to the earth as
rain.
The Quran already summarized this process
more than 14 centuries ago, with stunning accuracy, in an age of scientific
ignorance:
Do you not realize that God drives the
clouds, then gathers them together, then piles them on each other, then you see
the rain coming out of them?... [24:43]
Astronomical statements
abound.
It can hardly be argued that the idea of our sun having its own
path of revolution was factually known by people at the time of the Quran's
revelation (7th century A.D.). But amazingly enough, this appears in the
Quran.
And He is the One who created the night
and the day, and the sun and the moon; each floating in its own orbit.
[21:33]
Origin of the universe and the
composition of life disclosed in the Quran.
Advanced methods have recently enabled astronomers to determine
that the universe probably started as a very small ball of mass. A violent
explosion triggered the gradual and still ongoing expansion of this ball. So
what was once together has now been separated.
A couple centuries ago, the microscope enabled us to discover that life cells
are composed mainly of water.
God already told us these facts long before anyone else had a clue.
Do the unbelievers not realize that the
heaven and the earth used to be one solid mass that we exploded into existence?
And from water we made all living things. Would they believe?
[21:30]
In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most
Merciful.
Praise be to God, Lord of the universe.
Most Gracious, Most
Merciful.
Master of the Day of Judgment.
You alone we worship; You alone
we ask for help.
Guide us in the right path:
the path of those whom You
blessed; not of those who have
deserved wrath, nor of the strayers. [Sura
1]
KNOW THAT THERE IS NO GOD EXCEPT GOD.
REVERE HIM ALONE, AND LIVE RIGHTEOUSLY.
THIS IS THE PLAIN AND SIMPLE MESSAGE OF ISLAM,
AND ANYONE WHO FOLLOWS IT IS A MUSLIM.
